My perspective as a doctor with 15 years of ObGyn experience, gives me a different framework as a psychotherapist. I have always tried to look at the whole person — body, mind and spirit. In my experience, healing seems to be a highly individual process. I am still interested in medical issues and how they affect different people. I understand the deficiencies of our current medical system and enjoy figuring out ways for people to get their needs met, find appropriate referrals, and heal from trauma they may have recieved during medical encounters.  I am able to prescribe medications such as antidepressants when warranted.
